I LOVE the Olympics

I remember watching the Olympics as a little girl and wanting to be good enough at sport to go. In the summer I wanted to be a gymnast and the winter an ice skater. My dad taped the ENTIRE 1988 Olympics for me because I didn't want to miss a thing. Back in the VHS days that took about 10 tapes. There is something so incredible about watching these amazing athletes be so committed to their sport for the love of the sport not necessarily the money. It was interesting watching the opening ceremonies. As a Canadian you can't help but feel proud when hearing about the country. Tom Brokaw made a comment about how the USA always chants and cheers for their country and the Canadians had to be told not to be too modest and encouraged to cheer out loud for their country. That comment explains so much.....
